Ostensibly to save time while accepting the ESPY award for the best record-breaking performance of the past year, Saints quarterback Drew Brees opted to thank teammates and coaches and other members of the organization by nickname.

you fools are so jealous. why you gotta hate. the fact that he thanked everyone by name was really nice. without each one of them it wouldn’t have happened and they deserved a thanks. drew is a great guy with more talent in his little finger than you fools could dream of and you gotta hate for that. what a shame. WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many people say sign your contract, but considering he got severely injured the last time he played under the franchise tag I cannot blame him one bit. It was damned near career ending, and he definitely took a lesser contract because of it.

That said, Brees is cool. I remember watching him when he played in Purdue, and he is probably the most NFL successful Boilermaker other than Rod Woodson. He seems like a cool dude.
